Three people have already been fired and 34 have been suspended without pay.

"This blatant act of anti-Semitism and hate must be repudiated by relevant authorities through actions, not just words," said CAIR Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "We call for the swift firing of all those involved in this disturbing incident."

Almost 100 unenforced laws in Virginia still exist that state, "no child shall be required to attend integrated schools," and order segregation in playgrounds. They also prevent African-Americans from voting and make interracial marriage illegal.

"Though rendered null and void by subsequent legislation and legal actions, these unjust and racist laws remain on the books and stand as a reminder of the discrimination, racism and white supremacy that continue to this today," said CAIR National Communications Coordinator Ayan Ajeen. "It is essential to send a clear message repudiating racism at a time when minority communities are increasingly targeted by bigotry."
